Find the value a that makes the piecewise functions continuous
π Learn how to find the value that makes a function continuous. When given a piecewise function which has a hole at some point or at some interval, we fill the hole at the point or over the interval by looking for the value of the...

Domain of a rational function write in interval notation
π Learn how to find the domain of rational functions. Recall that the domain of a function is the set of possible input values (x-values) of the function. For a rational function, the denominator cannot be zero. Thus, to find the domain...
